Mississippi Career
Readiness Certificate Meeting
Gets Rave Reviews
On Tuesday August 12th,
the McGowan Workforce Training Center on the
Ridgeland campus of Holmes Community College was the
host of the first meeting for practitioners involved
with Mississippi’s newly launched Career Readiness
Certificate. Over 80 people representing Community
Colleges, Job Centers, Economic Development, Human
Services and Adult Basic Education came from all
parts of the state to participate. The State Board
of Community and Junior Colleges (SBCJC), along with
partners from ACT, KeyTrain and the Council for
Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) organized the
event.
The meeting was a
wonderful opportunity for attendees to learn about
the Mississippi Career Readiness Certificate (CRC)
Initiative and network with others tasked with
implementing the CRC statewide. Dr. Debra West of
the SBCJC greeted the guests and introduced Johnny
Franklin from the Governor’s office. Through Johnny
Franklin, Governor Haley Barbour sent his greetings
and relayed a commitment to supporting workforce
development initiatives that ultimately improve the
quality of life for all Mississippi citizens.
